Personaly think it is insulting to keep referring to Workington as the Comics it lowers the high standard that Berwick Promotion set !

 

Totally agree, though I suppose it keeps the happy clapper section happy. Having a joke is fine, all for it, but this one has become tiresome and quite frankly boring.

it's a 'Dick Barrie' thing calling Workington the 'comics'

But then he isn't on here

Berwick promotion have decided to postpone Benevolent Fund collection until during the play-offs -- which might well also be against the Comics!

Bigger crowd on a Saturday night , makes sense

By request of the proud local Northumbrians, PLEASE, do not refer to Berwick as been Scottish. If Berwick is Scottish then so is Carlisle :nono::nono::wink:

are the GOOD people of Berwick involved in the YES/NO vote for Scotlands independence.

We are in England, we have no vote. I just hope the money that presently is given to Scotland under 'The Barnett Formula', is re-directed to places like Berwick if the vote is Yes. Could Border towns like Berwick become Boom Towns if it is Yes, because of companies re-locating South of the Border.

Aye, but you rely on a Scottish born & based Promoter, and your landlords ,Berwick Rangers F.C., exist by playing in Scottish League 2.

Reliance does not come into it, just take what owner we have, part of the ownership George Heppburn is local and English. Berwick Rangers due to geography plays in the Scottish League again not by reliance, as it could easily play in the Northern League system. Shielfield Park is owned by Northumberland County Council on lease to Berwick Rangers Supporters Club, now this is where reliance comes into the equation, as Berwick Bandits rely on Berwick Rangers Supporters Club to allow them to ride at Shielfield Park,

Historically, Bandits have virtually always had a Scottish ethic, though.

 

Nearly all the owner-promoters down through the years, the Taylor family, the Fairbairns, Peter Waite and the Andersons are Scottish, only Terry Lindon and Mike Hopes were English.

 

To tease the question further, an independent Scotland might request "all lands north of the Tweed" be returned to their control as part of the discussion to follow next week's referendum.

 

Leaving Tweedmouth in England, of course!
